Flood warnings across North Yorkshire in force today
The agency says flooding of roads and farmland is possible today, January 11. Areas most at risk are low lying land and roads. The agency said: "Please take care in areas in the vicinity of the river, in particular avoid low lying roads and footpaths around Maunby." The flood alert for the River Wiske and where it meets the River Swale is now in force due to levels on Cod Beck rising, also due to rainfall and snowmelt. Levels on Cod Beck are expected to continue to rise through today, with low land in the Kirby Sigston area being most at risk.
